This morning I took a copy of [Foxtrot Mike Lima] out of the box on my desk and started reading it. Why?Because I haven't read it yet as a whole finished glorious thing. I've read it between edits. I've read it scene by scene and line by line. I've read it with changing things and … Continue reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima]

To write or to have written.
I can tell you right now that my favourite state of being is having a finished first draft sitting there looking like a lump of shite, ready to be formed into a fully fledged story. The joy of knowing the hard part is done and the fun is still to come. I love that. I … Continue reading To write or to have written.
What is it about Emily?
If you've been here longer than two minutes then you'll know who Emily is (perhaps?) anyway, moving along, Emily Jones is a character in the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. She enters in Book 2 [Lure the Lie]. As the series progresses she grows like any good character should. I like Emily as a character and … Continue reading What is it about Emily?
Humdinger
Edited!How fab is the word 'humdinger'? I think we should use it more often. Yesterday The Big Thrill zine came out and featured a recommendation for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. How cool is that? (Just click the link have a read then pop back and tell me what you think!) I'm delighted. Writing [FML] felt like … Continue reading Humdinger

[Foxtrot Mike Lima] is alive and breathing out in the world. Or I guess it probably seems that way to readers. 🙂 :)I am quite pleased to have the launch behind me. I do enjoy them though. I love talking about writing and whatnot, so that bit is pure fun. The lead up though; the … Continue reading And just like that …
The joy of Spotify.
Today is the day before. It's been a mixed bag. Mostly a bit crap to be honest. First cake failed. Second cake isn't great. I don't why I've gone from making amazing cakes to shit but there you go. But, I just discovered that Spotify works with AirPlay and therefore I can hear my playlists … Continue reading The joy of Spotify.

I have a few things I need to do today. 1. Bake the launch cake (it's chocolate) for tomorrow.2. Need to remember to get … Continue reading The day before.
Forever
I've been waiting for this album from Bon Jovi. It does not disappoint. I've included a link to the album on Spotify, at the end of this post. (You're welcome.)I think this could become the music for [Indigo Romeo Lima]. It just might work. I've kinda floated through music since finishing the FBI-Byte Series, nothing … Continue reading Forever
The cake
As I sit at my desk and type this, a block of white fondant is sitting on the kitchen bench. I had thoughts about making some cake toppers for the [Foxtrot Mike Lima] launch cake. I got out the container of gel colours and my very cool edible ink/colour pens, and some modelling tools. I … Continue reading The cake
The thing with the stuff.
So, here's the thing I've been grappling with for-fucking-ever ... getting enough sales to do more than break even (although hey, that would be great). It's the never-ending story. The never-ending author story. Someone suggested creating exclusive content for readers. Brilliant. Okay, I thought. I can do that. And do that, I did. I created … Continue reading The thing with the stuff.
